The WordUse command breaks the given essays into unique instances of the words contained therein.  All words are reduced to their lowercase equivalent.

When no *count option is specified the order of entries in the returned list is unspecified.

If the option showcount = true is specified then the words are returned in equation form indicating the lowercase word followed by the number of occurrences of that word.  The returned list is sorted in order of most occurrences first.

If the option mincount = N is specified then only the words that occur at least N times are returned. The returned list is sorted in order of most occurrences first.

If the option maxcount = N is specified then only the words that occur no more than N times are returned. The returned list is sorted in order of most occurrences first.

This function is part of the EssayTools package, so it can be used in the short form WordUse(..) only after executing the command with(EssayTools). However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using EssayTools[WordUse](..).

The EssayTools[WordUse] command was introduced in Maple 17.
